Role Overview

We are seeking a FinOps / Expense Analyst to be the finance partner to Accounting and the business for end-to-end purchasing and operating expense processes. You will own day-to-day operations in expense management, support variance analysis and expense forecasting, and build crisp reporting packages for leadership. You will improve policy adherence, reduce "shadow spend," and raise the signal-to-noise ratio in our opex so leaders can make faster, better decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Serve as the Finance point of contact for Zip (intake/PO), Concur (T&E), and Ironclad (contracts); ensure requests flow efficiently with proper approvals and documentation.

Partner with Accounting on month-end close for opex: accruals, reclasses, coding hygiene, and actuals vs. forecast reconciliations.

Build and maintain variance reporting (month-over-month, quarter-to-date, YoY) with clear drivers and recommended actions.

Support the FP&A Expense Lead on forecasting and budget refreshes; maintain driver-based models at cost-center and department levels.

Develop and deliver reporting packages and executive dashboards covering opex trends, run-rate analyses, policy exceptions, and savings opportunities.

Stand up spend analytics and KPI frameworks (e.g., PO cycle time, policy compliance, non-PO spend %, T&E per head, vendor concentration) and drive remediation.

Coordinate with Procurement/Legal on vendor diligence, contract terms, renewals, and consolidation opportunities.

Partner with Business Systems to enhance tooling, integrations, and AI-assisted automation (document parsing, anomaly detection, policy checks).

Qualifications

Experience: 3–6+ years in FP&A/FinOps/Accounting with hands-on ownership of purchasing and expense workflows.

Tools: SQL and BI tooling experience required; strong Excel/Google Sheets; NetSuite (or similar ERP) and Salesforce exposure preferred.

Operating rigor: Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-reliable; comfortable building processes that scale.

Business partnering: Effective at working across Accounting, Legal, RevOps, and budget owners; diplomatic but firm on policy.

Analytics: Strength in variance analysis, forecasting, and KPI design; able to translate data into action.

Mindset: Proactive problem-solver who seeks automation and drives outcomes.
